We live in an amazing time — a Pakistani website specializing in the publication of fake news, created by AI to earn advertising revenue, posted an announcement of a non-existent Halloween parade in Dublin.
The article was picked up by search algorithms and rose in Google search results.
Journalists began spreading the news in their publications without even bothering to check it.
As a result, thousands of people came to the square, ready to participate in a parade that didn't exist.
